Wild Beasts were a British pop/rock band, founded in 2002. Their first single, Brave Bulging Buoyant Clairvoyants, was only released four years later. They went on to put out 19 more singles, five EP’s and just as many albums.

Why do I use the past tense, do you ask? Well, as recently as 25 September the band announced its split. Only days later they release a new single, Punk Drunk And Trembling. An uncovered gem from the recording sessions for Wild Beasts’ last album Boy King and arguably one of their strongest singles yet. It would be a fitting farewell if it would belatedly become their biggest hit.
